i just wanted to take a moment out to welcome anyone new to design*sponge via this morning’s eco-friendly home goods segment that aired on abc news now. we’re thrilled to have you on the site and wanted to welcome you with a quick introduction to what design*sponge is all about. you can read more about our team and history right here, but here is a quick summary of the types of content we offer on a weekly basis, in addition to daily posts on new products, designers and trends:
- MONDAY: sneak peeks (home tours that highlight interesting interiors)
- TUESDAY: guides (each week we post either a new product guide or new city guide)

if you’d prefer to browse content based on categories (furniture, lighting, etc) you can do so right here; we also have an archived collection of podcasts with designers, a page full of “mini-trends” where we focus on trends in the market, a job board and a scholarship currently offering $11,000 in funds for student designers.
also, if you’re looking for more affordable home content, you can check out my “under $100″ column at domino magazine’s website right here and here. each month i create a 25-product roundup based around a theme from that month’s issue. so far we’ve covered eco-friendly products and decorating essentials.
